  Unfortunately I have having issues with my Overwatch 2. I need to update the bios for my PC, I will have to do this tomorrow but at the same time I will have to cancel stream for tomorrow. I'm sorry to anyone that was looking forward to the playing with viewers OW2 stream ToT

  @yoshi12370 unfortunately all blizzard games have this problem. WoW for example has had its plot destroyed and sabotaged for decades just to make more money and make blizzard earn money. and overwatch unfortunately falls into the same category. and being a moba doesn't help in this sense

  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  Cyberpunk 2077's glitchfest launch aged better than Overwatch's desperate microtransactions—I'll take neon bugs & broken NPCs over Blizzard greed any day. Gaming's tragically poetic fall. #HotTake

  @enchandted Apparently they "lost" the files and data to this while converting to Overwatch 2, and the only way they can "fix" it is by completely remaking it. Don't know why, but I'm not buying that excuse of theirs.

  Network interpolation delay in Overwatch 2, typically around 31.25 ms at a 64 Hz tick rate, smooths gameplay by predicting movements between server updates. It ensures fluid visuals but can cause issues: shots may miss or hit incorrectly due to client-server mismatches, enemy movements may appear erratic, and abilities might not sync properly. Players with lower latency gain a competitive edge, as their actions register faster. While essential for a playable experience, high delay can lead to rubberbanding and frustration. Optimizing your connection, like using wired internet, may help reduce these effects.

  How greatness is inevitable: video games. Why? I became top % in many games: 0.5% of 20 million active players in Valorant 15% in league 10% Rainbow 6 siege 10% in Halo infinite 35% on Overwatch in 6 hours. 25% on Fortnite in 12 hours. Another time I won roughly 20-25 games in a row on Valorant via pure **********. I WENT FROM GOLD 2 TO A3 IN 2 WEEKS WHILST LAGGING 100-1000Ms PEAKS. I know how to be great. I know how to conquer. I take what’s mine ruthlessly.

  @cwebbonline I am all for going into gang areas in company strength. Complete with multiple men on overwatch, armored vehicles, drones, cut the electricity and cell service in the area etc. Hire vets. Let some clandestine element of the military plan it.

  @EXCELSlOR_ Sounds stupid, but Lucio from Overwatch or Doomfist, there was a rumors way back about OW coming to smash, but after like some Hong Kong issue it soured the water

  I couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

  @HubPointless Also if there were ever a topic not spoken about enough, it's this exact issue here. Counter Strike, Overwatch, Valorant, Doom is basically Halo 3 customs with player speed at 150%! Sprint is a gimmick that's fun, but it was never Halo's core experience. Halo 3 was that in spades

  @Gracellynn6 @Vodible @MarvelRivals Agreed. Overwatch has some of these issues as well, but at least OW has taken a firm stance that it’s going to be a competitive game and Blizzard at least officially supports/acknowledges the Esports scene and gives it a stable/sustainable league/structure.

  @DrValince @DelusionPosting @Asmongold Even successful games get dumped cus of wokeness. Look at overwatch. Instead of fixing issues and making the game better they kept trying to deflect outrage and complaints by outing another character as gay

  Be careful playing comp on Overwatch as Rialto is bugged and will crash your game. Please fix or remove the map. It's just comp rules that crashes the game @PlayOverwatch

  @Rambo_Hair @GermanStrands that was hardly the issue, from what i saw the game itself ran fine. it was probably the most optimized hero shooter ive seen. very little problems. the biggest issue was character design, marketing and 8 years too late for hero shooters when Overwatch 2 fails to draw a crowd

  For the first time since launch, Overwatch has pissed me off so bad that I've uninstalled the game. @PlayOverwatch please for the love of god fix your matchmaking. This is abysmal. I love this game. I want to play it. I'm having ZERO fun with how it's set up currently.

  a lot of fans of certain heroes have it a lot better than they'd make it out to be and I think it has something to do with how the overwatch fandom as a whole has a victim complex issue.

  @Bluah97 Sensor is decent, I think it’s either 3370 or 3395, and it performs amazing in game, no issues when playing any game, and doesn’t feel any different than any other mouse using a 480hz monitor in Overwatch

  @arceus227 @JunosHyperRing @PlayOverwatch Overwatch isn't fun, that's the problem, and como don't give you rewards, actual rewards for ranking up, the only progression is the battle pass, which if yo don't pay get nothing
